Default It's amazing what people will say to try to justify dumbing down Amateur Radio.

It's funny, and most telling. The no-code hams have everything over

If that's true, it's certainly a change from half a
century ago when we HF hams observed the VHF/UHF
hams revolutionizing amateur radio with their
technical expertise.

Uhhhhhhhh...Cecil...??!?!

Did you actually make that up, or just quote someone else who is
equally ill informed?

Most of the people who were "moving forward" half a century ago
were ALSO folks who were active on and well known in HF circles...

Unless, of course, you're now going to take Lennie's spin and tell
us that any / everything reported in QST, CQ, etc, was only
"self-serviing rhetoric"...?!?!

Try again.

Anyone that puts out an argument to keep the code requirement gets teased
by Cecil. He loves to throw out some goof-ball counter reply to try to
be-little the original argument.
